Taking a cue from the great lodges and landscapes of America’s national parks, this year’s Gardenland Express will feature a rustic “wilderness escape” theme, with a replica of Yellowstone National Park’s Old Faithful Inn and the Old Faithful geyser as the centerpiece.
Gardenland Express is a temporary installation, created afresh each year. Horticulturists use dwarf conifers, shrubs, succulents, and moss to create rolling hills, valleys, and mountains. Exhibits are surrounded by hundreds of poinsettias. Daily watering keeps everything green throughout the six-week show.

Sponsors: The Container Store; CBIZ Accounting, Tax & Advisory/Mayer Hoffman McMann P.C.; Miss Marian L. Herr; Fifth Third Bank.
